NYSWI seeks applicants for free writing workshops

New York State Writers Institute Fellow and award-winning author James Lasdun will conduct two creative writing workshops for community writers during the spring 2010 semester at the University at Albany.
Lasdun, fiction and nonfiction writer, poet, and screenwriter, will offer one eleven-week workshop on the art of the short story and a six-week workshop in nonfiction writing. The workshops are offered free of charge for non-credit and will be held at the University at Albany’s uptown campus. Admission to both workshops is based on the submission of writing samples, which must be received by Jan. 28.
Complete information and submission guidelines are available by calling the Institute at 442-5620, or by going to http://www.albany.edu/writers-inst/webpages4/programpages/workshop.html.
